What stresses you out the most? Have you noticed stress hurting your health? Today, Jay sits down with Dan Harris, journalist, meditation advocate, and the author of 10% Happier. If you&rsquo;ve ever felt like stress and anxiety are running the show in your life, this episode is here to remind you that you&rsquo;re not alone&mdash;and better yet, there&rsquo;s a way forward. Dan opens up about the growing levels of anxiety and stress we&rsquo;re all feeling, thanks to modern life&rsquo;s endless distractions like social media, political turmoil, and the ripple effects of the pandemic. He unpacks the difference between stress and anxiety and offers some eye-opening perspectives on why we often feel overwhelmed. But this isn&rsquo;t just a heavy conversation about what&rsquo;s wrong with the world&mdash;it&rsquo;s packed with solutions.&nbsp; Jay and Dan dive into the magic of human connection, the science of mindfulness, and the art of not being so hard on yourself. Dan shares personal stories about grappling with anger, dealing with claustrophobia, and navigating his own inner critic. You&rsquo;ll hear how meditation has been a game-changer for him, not in making life perfect, but in making it manageable&mdash;and even joyful. They also get into the nitty-gritty of practical tips: How do you set boundaries with your phone? How do you learn to live with discomfort instead of running from it? And how can you reframe that negative self-talk that&rsquo;s always lurking? Spoiler alert: It&rsquo;s not about silencing your inner critic; it&rsquo;s about befriending it. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Differentiate Stress from Anxiety How to Build Meaningful Connections That Reduce Stress How to Reframe Negative Self-Talk How to Identify the Root Cause of Your Anger How to Embrace Discomfort for Personal Growth How to Recognize and Change Destructive Habits You don&rsquo;t need to have all the answers or fix everything overnight.
